can I use this over a bandage covering a sore?

You can as long as you get the correct size for the area you are covering. I bought this after following the measurements on this company's website. I ordered according to that, but it has little stretch in it so it fits when you first put it on but stretches out with any movement. I was trying to use it on my leg to protect my eczema. I don't know how to find the right side; perhaps call this company.

The stockinette is 4" wide..You might need a smaller width because it stretches..Otherwise, it a great covering.

It can be used to cover a bandage, but keep in mind that this is not a tight stocking. It is more like a light weight sleeve. We bought the 4 inch to cover a leg/calf.

As long as you wash the stockinette and there is no weeping from the bandage.

Yes, just think of it as a soft cotton tube that you can use to cover the bandage on an arm or a leg. This was what the surgeon used to cover the incisions on my ankle and it was much move comfortable than a sock while I was in an air cast. It slips on like a sock. Just make sure you get the right width for your needs because it stretches. I bought the 4" because I'm a little chubby but it was really too big but the air cast held it in place so it worked well anyway. I also use it to cover my arm when I put pain on relieving gel because my cat keeps trying to get to lick it. Menthol makes some cats go nuts (like catnip) but they definately shouldn't eat it!

This sleeve did provide comfort and relief from the pain. It could reduce swelling but I would only do that at night. If you are having lots of daytime swelling this will not heal you and could make things worse. You could use it for short periods like a trip to the store, or a walk, but don't plan on having it on all day to fix everything. Good luck...I have a new empathy for people with foot pain. We need our feet!

I used when it when I twisted the ankle. As long as there is no cut or scratch on it

No, I don't thinks so. It should not be used on infections and is best on stubborn wounds that just don't want to close up. Check with your doctor with shingles and even if you have it now and it's too late to stop it, get a shot later.

No--this product provides a protective layer over blisters or cuts while they heal.

Hi, The pad of the bandage is all adhesive, it is the same film bandage the hospitals use to hold an IV in place. I use it to hold on bandages or patches especially when I'm in the shower because it is waterproof. The pad is all adhesive.

Disposable. If you wanted something reusable i would get an ace wrap and dressing separately, then you could reuse the ace wrap and change the bandage and it would work similarly.

My daughter was able to put in on with her cast, so unless the bandage is bigger than a cast, it should work

I would say overnight or at longest a day or two. I apply it and then put a lightly covered gauze bandage so it does not get on bed sheet or clothes. Reapply some everyday and change he bandage. It is great for bringing a boil to drain or drawing up a splinter that is infected to the top.

No, the box will 10 4x4 bandages. Usually 10 can last a while because you can take a pair of scissors and cut the bandage to size. You just have to remember to leave at least an 3/4 inch (2cm) of bandage around the wound outside of the wound if it is small. So the size of the wound is important to take into consideration. The bandage must have dry skin to stick to in order to work and should surround the wound on all sides. I couldn't find a website that made this really easy to just show you out there, just medical jargon ones. But those 10 bandages, could actually be 40 depending on the size of the sore you are covering. If you are finding that they get rubbed off or develop edges quickly, just put something over it, but NOT a sticky tape! I've used wrist bands, a light wrapping using an ace bandage, and even a pantyhose to keep me from rubbing it off during sleep. You shouldn't have to change it for 3 - 4 days, and I've left them on for 7 days. What I like about these is that there is no glue covered tape like a regular bandaid type product, which usually mean the original sore was healed, but I'd have sores where the tape was stuck.

Yes. I do! Just be sure that you aren't pulling the bandaid off when it's still sticking well, it'll cause it to make a scab larger and possibly scar! Good luck :)

Yes I have. It does help but it's not some kind of miracle, ace bandage works the same way it is just the convenience I like. I hope it will help.

I don't know! However our local hospital's wound clinic uses this bandage....at the appropriate time in the healing of a wound. I think this is a doctor's decision. I suggest that you read up on this product on the internet in its description of proper use.

Yes, however I don't believe it would make the underneath bandage completely water proof

You could but I use it by applying it externally on wounds bites any skin problem that might invite infection.

The entire bandage is a non-glue adhesive. So the part that covers the wound is the entire tegaderm patch which is 4x4 3/4. If you are familiar with tegaderm you understand that there are no edges to this. If not, sometimes or drugstores and pharmacies will alllow you to buy one tegaderm patch. You might want to see what they are like first to make sure it suits your needs. But I love them and use then to cover my pain patches which then allows me to shower with my pain patches while keeping them dry. Hope this helps☺
